TLDR
In this global study of CAR T‐cell therapy, a single infusion of tisagenlecleucel provided durable remission with long‐term persistence in pediatric and young adult patients with relapsed or refractory B‐cell ALL, with transient high‐grade toxic effects.
Abstract
Background In a single-center phase 1–2a study, the anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy tisagenlecleucel produced high rates of complete remission and was associated with serious but mainly reversible toxic effects in children and young adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) Methods We conducted a phase 2, single-cohort, 25-center, global study of tisagenlecleucel in pediatric and young adult patients with CD19+ relapsed or refractory B-cell ALL The primary end point was the overall remission rate (the rate of complete remission or complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery) within 3 months Results For this planned analysis, 75 patients received an infusion of tisagenlecleucel and could be evaluated for efficacy The overall remission rate within 3 months was 81%, with all patients who had a response to treatment found to be negative for minimal residual disease, as assessed by means of flow cytometry The rates of event-f

Immunotherapy-Associated Cardiotoxicity of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors and Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy: Diagnostic and Management Challenges and Strategies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment of immunotherapy-associated cardiovascular toxicities in patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies.

Potential of Glioblastoma-Targeted Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-Cell Therapy

TL;DR: Tremendous efforts are currently ongoing to identify novel CAR targets and target combinations for glioblastoma, to modify T cells to enhance their efficacy and to enable them to resist tumor-mediated immunosuppression, and to utilize adjunct therapies such as lymphodepletion, checkpoint inhibition, and bi-specific engagers to improve CAR T persistence.

Single-cell antigen-specific landscape of CAR T infusion product identifies determinants of CD19-positive relapse in patients with ALL

TL;DR: Proteomic data revealed that the frequency of early memory T cells, rather than activation or coinhibitory signatures, could distinguish the relapse, and an integrative model was developed to predict the response.

Chimeric antigen receptor T cells persist and induce sustained remissions in relapsed refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia

TL;DR: The in vivo expansion of theCAR T cells correlated with clinical responses, and the CAR T cells persisted and remained functional beyond 4 years in the first two patients achieving CR, suggesting that disease eradication may be possible in some patients with advanced CLL.
